Solar Ground Mounts

Solar Ground Mounts

Ground-mounted solar PV systems are one of the most cost-effective applications for your business to generate its own cleaner electricity onsite.

Benefits of Solar Ground Mounts

Optimum Generation

Ground-mounted solar systems can be positioned at the optimum angle and inclination to maximise solar generation. The systems can be scaled to the right size to meet your electricity demand, subject to land availability.

Land Utilisation

Frequently ground mounted solar arrays are situated on unused land which is producing minimal benefits to landowners. Solar ground mounted systems provide an opportunity to own your own cleaner, cheaper solar power plant.

Enhance Biodiversity

Solar parks are mounted on a steel frames which impact about 10% of the area, this creates a haven for wildlife and wildflowers to flourish and enhance the biodiversity of the land.

"The completion of the Thorlux headquarters installation is truly outstanding, with over 3,000 high-power panels. I am very proud of the result, and when I study my mobile app - which on a sunny day shows we are generating more electricity than we are using - I find it motivational and inspiring."

Michael Allcock

Group Chairman, FW Thorpe PLC

"Ineco successfully delivered a project installing 640 panels on our factory. There were no issues, they were supportive before, during and after the project and there were no surprises. They really know their stuff. The words I would use to describe Ineco and those working within in it are reliable, trustworthy and honest. If you are wanting to install solar panels, Ineco should be on your call list."

Jo Craner

Finance Director, Aubrey Allen

"Investing in Solar PV helped us to benefit from clean and affordable energy on site. We have been incredibly impressed with the clear communication from Ineco throughout the project which has made it effortless for us."

Not all businesses may want to invest their capital into a solar panel system. Asset finance enables your business to benefit from Solar PV without the upfront capital outlay. Ineco takes care of it all, working alongside a network of trusted solar finance partners who will tailor finance solutions to meet your needs. Typically, Asset finance is repaid over 5-10 years providing financial and environmental savings from day one at the equivalent electricity rate of 5-7 p / kWh.

Contact Us

A solar PPA financed system involves a funder owning, operating and maintaining a solar panel system on your roof. This electricity generated is sold back to your business at a discounted rate. Typically, a solar PPA is a longer-term agreement of 15-25 years that delivers carbon and cost savings from day one at the equivalent electricity rate of 7-10 p / kWh.

FAQs

Ground-mounted solar PV systems are solar power installations where panels are mounted on the ground rather than rooftops. These systems are typically used for larger-scale solar energy projects where land is available.

Yes, ground-mounted solar panels typically require planning permission unless they meet certain conditions for permitted development which are:

• No larger than 9 sqm
• Max horizontal dimension of 3m
• No higher than 4m
• More than 5m from property boundary
• Not in a restricted area i.e. conservation area etc.

Solar PV electricity was declared the ‘cheapest source of electricity’ according to the International Energy Agency in 2020.

The average unit cost of solar PV-generated electricity depends on a number of site-specific factors as well as how your system is financed.

As of Jan 2024, the average unit price of grid electricity was 28.7p. Whilst there are caveats and multiple influences that affect the price of solar-PV generated electricity we can generalise that:

  • A CapEx funded system provides electricity at a rate of 5p per kWh
  • A financed system provides electricity at a rate of 7-10p per kWh
  • A PPA funded system provides electricity at a rate of 10-15p per kWh

Typically, a commercial solar PV system can supply between 30-60% of your total energy demand for the year, although this is dependent on varying factors:

  • Time of year
  • Shading/ Sunlight Exposure
  • Maintenance
